Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Cleartronic, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida on November 15, 1999. All current operations are conducted through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ReadyOp Communications, Inc. ("ReadyOp"), a Florida corporation incorporated on September 15, 2014. ReadyOp facilitates the marketing and sales of subscriptions to the ReadyOp™ and ReadyMed ™ platforms and the AudioMate IP gateways discussed below.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain the consolidated accounts of Cleartronic, Inc. and its subsidiary, ReadyOp Communications, Inc. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2022, contained in our General Form for Registration of Securities of Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 29, 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and operations for the reporting period.
Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuation of deferred tax assets, estimated useful life of property and equipment, valuation of inventory and allowance for doubtful accounts.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not own any cash equivalents on December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon a periodic review and analysis of outstanding accounts receivable balances. Uncollectible receivables are charged to the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are used to credit the allowance account in the periods in which the recoveries are made. When a client is invoiced, the amount is recorded as an asset in Accounts Receivable and as Deferred Revenue in Current Liabilities. When payment is received the amount is moved to Cash on the balance sheet and Accounts Receivables are reduced. The amount listed as Deferred Revenue is amortized monthly over the license period.
The Company provided $18,000 and $18,000 for allowances of doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of deferred subscriber costs and prepaid expenses. Deferred subscriber costs totaling $25,500 and $38,250 at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Prepaid expenses totaling $25,667 and $18,165 at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively are primarily for insurance and other items
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter or when the property and equipment is put into service.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company currently maintains cash balances at one FDIC-insured banking institution. Deposits held in non interest-bearing transaction accounts are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 at all FDIC-insured institutions. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Company had $15,720 and $208,135, respectively, in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
For the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $21,815 and $49,260 respectively, in research and development costs.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUES
The Company revenue recognition policy follows guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from contract with customers. Revenue is recognized when the Company has transferred promised goods and services to the customer and in the amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
i. Identification of Contact with a customer;
ii. Identify the performance obligation of the contract
iii. Determine transaction price;
iv. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
v. Recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
-6-
The Company generates revenue primarily through the sale of integrated hardware and software licenses. The portion of the contract that is associated with ongoing hosting and related customer service is amortized monthly over the license period. The Company incurs certain incremental contract costs (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net) including selling expenses (primarily commissions) related to acquiring customers. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net are included in prepaid and expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Commissions paid in connection with acquiring new customers are determined based on the value of the contractual fees. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred on the date the revenue associated with the cost is recognized. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, the Company recorded $25,500 and $38,250, respectively, in deferred subscriber costs, which are included as a component of prepaid expense.
In transactions in which hardware is sold to a customer, the Company recognizes the revenue when the hardware has been shipped to the customer. The hardware supplied by the Company does not require a related software license and can be operated and fully functional without the Company's software.
From time to time clients request special training meetings. We send employees to these meeting and charge our clients on a per diem basis. These charges are recorded as consulting fees on our income statement.
The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative stand alone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of system licenses is recognized once installation is complete.
Customer billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as services are provided. These fees are recorded as current deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet as the Company expects to satisfy any remaining performance obligations as well as recognize the related revenue within the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company has applied the practical expedient regarding deferred revenue to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations if (i) the contract has an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, the Company recorded $901,872 and $1,125,511, respectively, in deferred revenue.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share ("EPS") are the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by adding both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.
Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-45-21 through 260-10-45-45-23 Diluted EPS shall be based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder. The dilutive effect of outstanding call options and warrants (and their equivalents) issued by the reporting entity shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method unless the provisions of paragraphs 260-10-45-35 through 45-36 and 260-10-55-8 through 55-11 require that another method be applied. Equivalents of options and warrants include non-vested stock granted to employees, stock purchase contracts, and partially paid stock subscriptions (see paragraph 260–10–55–23). Anti-dilutive contracts, such as purchased put options and purchased call options, shall be excluded from diluted EPS. Under the treasury stock method: a. Exercise of options and warrants shall be assumed at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and common shares shall be assumed to be issued. b. The proceeds from exercise shall be assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. (See paragraphs 260-10-45-29 and 260-10-55-4 through 55-5.) c. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no options and warrants outstanding.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had 512,996 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock outstanding, which are convertible into 51,299,600 shares of common stock.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had 3,209,503 and 3,341,503 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred stock outstanding, respectively, which are convertible into 16,047,515 and 16,707,515 shares of common stock, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had 670,904 shares of Series D Preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into 3,354,520 shares of common stock.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had 3,000,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred stock outstanding which are convertible into 300,000,000 shares of common stock.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under ASC topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures". ASC 820 defines "fair value" as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
- Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3: Inputs that are generally observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value.
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
INVENTORY
Inventory consists of components held for assembly and finished goods held for resale or to be utilized for installation in projects. Inventory is valued at lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company's policy is to record a reserve for technological obsolescence or slow-moving inventory items. The Company only carries finished goods to be shipped along with completed circuit boards and parts necessary for final assembly of finished product. All existing inventory is considered current and usable. The Company recorded no reserve for obsolete inventory as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
At December 31, 2022 inventory was $21,097 of raw materials and $0 of finished goods.
At September 30, 2022, inventory was $21,097 of raw materials and $0 of finished goods.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had advertising costs of $13,149 and $5,025 during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
All newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
LEASE ACCOUNTING
We account for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases which requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet for most operating leases. We made the accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions of ASC 842 to short-term leases which are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, we recognize the lease payments for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease liabilities reflect our obligation to make future lease payments for real estate locations. Lease terms are comprised of contractual terms. Payments are discounted using the rate we would pay to borrow amounts equal to the lease payments over the lease term (our incremental borrowing rate). We do not separate lease and non-lease components for contracts in which we are the lessee. ROU assets are measured based on lease liabilities adjusted for incentives and timing differences between operating lease expense and payments, recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments are recognized as incurred. Common area maintenance and other executory costs are the main components of variable lease payments. Operating and variable lease expenses are recorded in general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Obligation Under Operating Lease
On December 2, 2022, and effective on January 1, 2023, the Company signed a two-year lease of 1,145 square feet for our principal offices in Clearwater, Florida. The monthly rent is $2,134 in year one and increases to $2,198 in year two. The lease expires on December 31, 2024. On January 1, 2023, upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company will recognize right-to-use assets as operating leases and operating lease obligations.
On December 1, 2021, the Company signed a one year lease approximately 2,000 square feet for our principal offices in Boca Raton, Florida. The monthly rent is $2,200. The lease expired on November 30, 2022.
Rent expense incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $2,343 and $5,886, respectively (See Note 6).
Revenue and Accounts Receivable Concentration
For the three months ended December 31, 2022, one customer accounted for 16% of the Company's revenues.
For the three months ended December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 14% of the Company's revenues.

As of September 30, 2022, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total outstanding accounts receivable.
Major Supplier and Sole Manufacturing Source
The Company relies on no major supplier for its products. The Company has contracted with local manufacturing facilities to provide completed circuit boards used in the assembly of its IP gateway devices. Interruption of adequate supply of components, primarily computer chips, to the manufacturing source presents additional risk to the Company. The Company believes that additional commercial facilities exist at competitive rates to match the resources and capabilities of its existing manufacturing source, but the current worldwide shortage of computer chips does limit our ability to supply our proprietary radio gateways to clients and other buyers .
Employment Agreements
In December 2016, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Larry M. Reid as Chief Executive Officer of the corporation and appointed Mr. Reid as Chief Financial Officer. The Board also appointed Michael M. Moore as Chief Executive Officer.

The term of agreement is for a one-year period beginning on the effective date and shall automatically renew and continue in effect for additional one-year periods. Effective April 20, 2022, the annual compensation increased to $220,000.
Under the terms of an employment agreement effective on March 13, 2015, Mr. Reid as CFO receives an annual salary of $96,000. The term of agreement is for a one-year period beginning on the effective date and shall automatically renew and continue in effect for additional one-year periods. Effective October 1, 2021, the annual compensation increased to $104,000.
Exclusive Licensing Agreement
On May 5, 2017, the Company entered into an Exclusive Licensing Agreement with Sublicensing Terms (the "Agreement") with the University of South Florida Research Foundation, Inc. ("USFRF") relating to an exclusive license of certain patent rights in connection with one of USFRF's U.S. Patent Applications. Both parties recognize that the research and development work provided by the Company was sufficient for USFRF to enter into the Agreement with the Company.
The Agreement is effective April 25, 2017 and continues until the later of the date that no Licensed Patent remains a pending application or an enforceable patent or the date on which the Licensee's obligation to pay royalties expires.
The Company agreed to pay USFRF a royalty of 3% for sales of all Licensed Products and Licensed Processes and agreed to pay USFRF minimum royalty payments as follows:
| |
Payment
| Year
|
$1,000
| 2019
|
$4,000
| 2020
|
$8,000
| 2021
|
-and every year thereafter on the same date, for the life of the agreement.
In the event the Company proposes to sell any Equity Securities, then USFRF will have the right to purchase 5% of the securities issued in such offering on the same terms and conditions are offered to other purchasers in such financing. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has recorded $3,640 and $2,953 for the minimum royalty for the fiscal year ended 2022 and 2021.
